Hello, I am looking into figuring out the proper way to do inter-app communication in TrueNAS 25.04 while using the official iX Apps, if it is at all possible. I installed some apps that have their own Web UI, but they also have to communicate with each other. I was able to get them to communicate…

And even if that was not the case, I actually don’t need the npm-network for this to work, because in a reverse …
